hey all!~
Happy new Year!!
I was at Val's since last Saturday, and then came home Monday, and then drove back yesterday , to spend the new year's eve with her.
Just ck'g in, to let you know how I'm doing.
After 3 weeks, I have now lost 27 pounds!!
I am BREATHING better, walking better, less pain.
I am OFF my blood pressure meds, take less water pill,s off baby aspirin, and am feeling better than I have in YEARS!!
I unloaded by whole car, from being at Val's, all by myself!! That included my 30 pound oxygen concentrator, that I lifted out of the back seat of my car, and then piled all my bags, bi pap machine, and stutt on top of my roling walker, rolled it all into the garage, and then went back out, (with no cane), and backed the car into the garage.
I unloaded everything, and wasn't even short of breath!
I feel wonderful, and this gastric bypass surgery has already made a HUGE impact on my health>
I hope you all had a safe and happy new years eve, and are relaxing and kicking back on this New Years Day 2014!
Happy New Year to all of my 2nd "family,
Love you all,
Boo **New pics to follow in a week, at my 1month post op anniversary date!

Can't wait to see your new pics! Wish I could have gastric bypass, but you have to be a certain BMI and I haven't reached that....yet.
Congrats to you, and looking forward to those pictures! Love and hugs!
